Studio Umbria is an architecture and project management practice supporting international retail brands across Europe and the Middle East. We deliver new store openings and refurbishments through local architectural expertise, executive architecture, due diligence and project management. With teams across London, Italy, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Dubai, we combine international retail experience with local knowledge to deliver projects with consistency and control.
Two practices. One international retail team.
Studio Umbria brings together the experience of two established architectural practices, Alessio Boco and Riccardo Vicarelli Architects. Their combined experience spans architecture, interiors and retail, with years of work for internationally recognised brands and projects across different markets.
Studio Umbria was created to provide international retail clients with something very specific: experienced architectural and project leadership, supported by genuine local expertise. Today, our teams operate across London, Italy, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Dubai, allowing us to work across markets while maintaining a consistent understanding of each client’s brand, standards and design language.
THE STORY
years of international experience in architecture, engineering, and project management
Studio Umbria was born from the shared vision of Architect Alessio Boco, founder of AB Studio and Architect Riccardo Vicarelli, founder of RVA Services. Bringing together years of international experience in architecture, engineering, and project management, they combined their expertise to create a multidisciplinary studio dedicated to high end retail and commercial design worldwide.
United by a passion for innovation, technical excellence, and meaningful spaces, Studio Umbria delivers integrated architectural solutions that merge creativity with precision. From flagship stores and boutiques to experiential retail environments, the studio was founded with the ambition to design spaces that strengthen brand identity, elevate customer experience, and shape the future of retail architecture on a global scale.
